Improving fuel efficiency by enabling the EV running and the assist running causing no electric failure without specifying one running route. Since a running road acquired from the map data stored in the storage medium 92 is divided into a plurality of sections and the charged capacity change amount ”SOC of the electric storage device 54 is stored for each of the divided sections, an electric energy amount of the electric storage device 54 consumable before recovery of electric energy can be calculated during running in a certain running route based on the stored charged capacity change amount ”SOC. By consuming the electric energy amount in advance through the EV running and the assist running, a subsequently recovered electric energy amount (regenerative energy amount) can be increased. As a result, the EV running and the assist running causing no electric failure can be achieved without specifying one running route so as to improve fuel efficiency. |
